BS in Information Technology in the

Philippines
The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) program prepares students to
be IT professionals who are able to perform installation, operation, development,
maintenance and administration of computer applications. The goal of the program is to
gear up students as "information technologists" who can assist individuals and
organizations in solving problems using information technology (IT) techniques.
The BSIT program equips students with the basic ability to conceptualize, design and
implement software applications. It also provides experience in the development of
office support (word processing, spreadsheet, database and accounting), intranet and
internet and specialized professional software (multi-media, website development and
eCommerce). It also offers background in mathematical and computing principles.
The teaching methods used are classroom discussions, practicum exercises spent in
computer laboratories and on the job trainings or internships.

Is Information Technology a profession?

Information Technology is considered a profession, because the skills and knowledge
acquired in this course are specific and familiar only to those who study this course or
similar courses.
